Draft Day

WatchBlog here.  Well the 2012 CFFFL draft somehow, despite the odds, actually occurred on Saturday.  Let's get to it.

2012 CFFFL Draft Board

Let's Make a Deal!
Just under the wire, Commish Gary "I've been shelling out for years, it's the least you could do" Cook was finally able to convince the two remaining team holdouts to abandon their demands for restoration of their Netflix accounts, and return to the CFFFL just in time for draft day.  Andy "call me Andrew, I'm like a foot taller than you" Cook and his sister Lauren "is this gonna take much longer?" Cook showed up on draft day with a new commitment to the CFFFL and a seeming desire to put actual effort into their teams.  This desire would carry both of them through much of the grueling 3 hour draft, or more specifically, right up to overall pick 9 of the first round.  Eh, at least they showed up.

Speaking of showing up...
In a "fool me twice, shame on me" like episode, the entire CFFFL draft room was shocked with the news that the reigning CFFFL champion Quail Hunters would not be participating in the draft for the second year in a row.  Utilizing the rare "draft by proxy" technique, Amanda "didn't anyone else realize this was Labor Day weekend?" Cook turned over her draft responsibilities to her dad, Jerry "first I gave you life, and then I gave you a championship" Cook, exactly as she did 1 short year ago.  WatchBlog was unable to reach Amanda for comment, but surely it would have gone something like "Um, what part of having your cake and eating it too doesn't sound good to you?"

Kiss the Cousins Goodbye
In the first re-branding effort of the season, team Cousin Mose & Me, fresh off a Super Bowl loss, decided to distance themselves from the embarrassment of losing a league they created for the sole purpose of winning it, and changed their name to MotherBoy.  Gary "I should have realized by the sailor suits that I was not going north to the promised land, I was going south. South to MotherBoy" Cook reportedly was not the first team wanting to claim "MotherBoy" as a new team name, but he's the Commish, so what are you gonna do?

League play begins in 3 days.  WatchBlog draft grades coming soon.  Stay tuned.
